St Andrew's dominates K-Day
The pipes and drums were played by kilted Andreans and the teams each came out onto Lower through long tunnels formed by the school-mates. Expectations were high.
The field cleared, Kingswood kicked off amidst singing.
Two penalties set St Andrew's attacking. They mauled they went left and then right where Byron Sharwood opened the scoring after great work from centre, Charlie Fleming, this seemed to settle any early nerves.
Matthew More scored soon after the restart, after a good set piece from the College forwards, taking them into a 12-0 lead.
Kingswood bounced back immediately with a well-taken intercept try byJeff Mtuku after a poor decision by the College backline. This was the last time the College line was breached.
Tries to Chulumanco Mngxaso, Matt More, and Callum Dugmore took College into a 29-5 lead at half-time. At this stage Kingswood still looked in the game and would have looked at half-time as a time to recharge their batteries.
St Andrew's College came out after half-time even stronger which wasn’t great for Kingswood. The home team scored almost immediately through right wing Jack Allanson who scored in the corner after a chip through from flyhalf Murray Koster. Kingswood tried hard to play positive running rugby but were up against a rampant St Andrew's team.
With Zadok Makani having his best game of the season, further tries to Matt More, Chulumanco Mngxaso, Callum Dugmore, Oscar Evans, and Graham De Vos saw College finish off what was a one-sided affair. As the cliché’ goes, a team can only play as well as they are allowed and credit needs to be given to Kingswood who continued trying to play positively throughout the game.
The day itself was a tremendous success with St Andrew's winning all the derby fixtures against Kingswood apart from an impressive win for the Kingswood Under-14A team. What was very special was to share this wonderful occasion with eight teams from other local schools, thus providing all our rugby boys the opportunity to take part in K Day.
